Stand for your rights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You tell me stay quiet, keep my head low Another false promise on another dead road Everybody watching but nobody speaks Fear got a chain wrapped around the weak I’m sick of the pressure, sick of the lies Sick of pretending everything’s alright They build up walls while the people divide But I can hear the truth burning inside [Pre-Chorus] And I won’t break No, I won’t bend You pushed too far Now this is where it ends [Chorus] Stand for your rights Rise through the fire tonight No more running away No more afraid to fight We’ve been silenced too long Now we’re taking back our lives If they wanna hold us down We stand for our rights [Verse 2] Every headline trying to poison the mind Every screen feeding fear all the time They want control, they want obedience But I won’t trade my soul for convenience I hear the voices buried underground People tired of getting pushed around No savior coming, no easy way out Only us screaming louder now [Pre-Chorus] You can’t erase What we became Through all the scars We still remain [Chorus] Stand for your rights Rise through the fire tonight No more running away No more afraid to fight We’ve been silenced too long Now we’re taking back our lives If they wanna hold us down We stand for our rights [Bridge – half-time / screamed backing vocals] I won’t live another day controlled I won’t let them take what I know This is our voice This is our time You can’t bury us alive [Final Chorus] Stand for your rights Even in the darkest light When the world turns cold We keep the flame alive We were broken before But we survived the night And no matter what they say We stand for our rights
